Many plants such as orchids are grown by a technique called tissue culture. Small pieces of plant tissue from a leaf, stem, or root of a mature plant are placed in a medium that contains the proper nutrients. The cells first form a mass of undifferentiated cells, from which tiny roots, stems, and leaves eventually grow. How do the plant cells placed in a medium for tissue culture change in terms of their degree of specialization? what types of animal cells are most similar to the undifferentiated plant cells in a tissue culture? Explain your answer

Plant cells will also change with the degree of specialization. It means that when is is a higher developed organism then it will have a higher degree of specialization. For the second question,Somatic cells of animal callus are most common to the plant cell. It is because just like a callus, the tissue of the plant cells are thick and it serves them as protection from friction.
